Welcome! In front of me I have Garmin Venue SQ-Music and I'm gonna show you
0:11
how to enable the phone notifications for this watch on the Android phone
0:16
Before we start, if you want to get the phone notifications on your watch, your
0:21
watch needs to be paired with your phone via the Garmin Connect application
0:24
Once the devices are paired we need to make sure that the required permissions
0:29
are allowed for the notifications to work. So we need to find the Garmin Connect
0:35
application icon. We need to press and hold on it. Tap on the app info. Then we
0:47
need to tap on permissions right here and now we need to allow the
0:53
permissions, required permissions for the notifications to work. First we need to
0:58
tap on calendar and allow it. Then go back. Next we need to allow the call logs
1:05
Then contacts, I believe. Phone and the SMS. Once you allow all of these
1:17
permissions you can close this menu. Now open the settings on your phone. In the
1:24
settings tap on apps and notifications. Tap on advanced. Scroll down. Tap on
1:30
special app access. Here find the notification access option and tap on it
1:36
Now find the Garmin Connect on the list. Select it and we need to allow the
1:44
notification access for the Garmin Connect app. So select the Garmin Connect
1:48
Tap on the switch. Tap on allow and once it's allowed right here we can close the
1:54
settings. And now we can open the Garmin Connect application on our phone. In the
2:02
app we can tap on the menu. To open the menu tap on the Garmin devices. Select
2:08
our venue SQ from the list. On the device page we can scroll down. Tap on alerts
2:16
option. Then tap smart notifications and here we can customize the notification settings. We have during an activity and not during an activity and
2:28
also we have privacy. So basically during activities the options for the
2:35
notifications while you're recording the activity. So if you're running, swimming or something like that and you're recording the activity on your watch. And
2:43
the next option is not during activity. So it's when you use your watch normally
2:48
without recording any activity. So let's tap on during activity and here we can
2:52
select a couple of options. Show all, calls and texts only, calls and off. Select the
2:58
option you like by tapping on it. Then we have not during activity and again
3:03
select the option you like and privacy option. Basically you can select off
3:07
action and gesture. Okay once you've done customizing your settings now you
3:13
should be able to receive the notifications on your watch. So I'm gonna
3:17
open the Discord and send myself a message on Discord. So give me a couple
3:23
of seconds. And as you can see we got the message on our phone the notification and also we
3:36
got it on our watch. If you miss the notification on your watch you can
3:42
swipe or wake up the screen on your watch then swipe down or up on the
3:47
screen until you find the notifications. And here you can tap on the
3:51
notification to read it. You can swipe up, dismiss it, mark as read, reply or block
3:57
the app if you want to. And you can also I believe swipe on the notification right
4:03
here. No, you need to open it to dismiss it. So you need to tap on it and tap on
4:09
dismiss right here to dismiss it like this. Okay and that's how you enable the
4:15
phone notifications for this watch on the Android phone. Thank you for watching
